Diana Kristarium, known professionally as Crystagella, is a virtual music artist and fictional character from Jakarta, Indonesia.[1] She was created by Sabeth Uttara and first introduced in 2013. Crystagella has been portrayed by several performers: Meitty Aulicia Fazny (2018–2021), Azlia Salsabila (2021–2023), and Shanessa Gabriele (2023–present). The character is an alter ego of Diana Kristarium, embodying existential narratives explored across multiple media platforms.[2]
Crystagella works as a DJ, record producer, vocalist, songwriter, and author. Her music blends elements of electronic, synthwave, industrial, and futuristic aesthetics, reflecting an experimental approach to identity and virtual existence. She is also one of the authors of the book A Heartfelt Reflection on the Tragedy from the Life of Cherry Muffin (2024).[2]
Music Releases and Collaborations
[edit]As a virtual music artist, Crystagella has released numerous works characterized by an experimental and poetic sonic approach. She began her career as a Virtual DJ in 2013 and debuted professionally with the single "Proud To Kill" in 2014.[1] Her music is known for blending atmospheric electronic elements, the intensity of drum and bass, and industrial textures with deep emotional nuance.[3]
One of her notable songs is “Wanna+Makeout0night,” which expresses existential wounds and past trauma. The track is emotionally rich and fragile, capturing internal vulnerability and haunting memories.[4]
In contrast, “Honey Gum,” featuring vocals by Hezky Jo, explores sensuality in a playful yet intense tone, blending classic jazz swing with dynamic house beats.[5]
Other songs like “M.E.I,” a collaboration with Kay Oscar, reflect on personal digital relationships, while “Raison d’être” is a melancholic composition that touches on existential purpose and the meaning of connection in an increasingly unreal world.[6]
In 2021, Crystagella released the album Virtual After All: naked, the first installment of the conceptual series Virtual After All. The album dissects layers of identity through raw, intimate, and unpredictable sonic storytelling. Its lyrics reflect anxiety and longing to understand the self amid a rapidly changing world.
Virtual Performances
[edit]As a virtual music character, Crystagella appears not only in audio recordings but also through real-time interactive digital avatars. One of her most prominent performances was at Indonesia Comic Con 2022, where she appeared via motion capture and holographic projection using the "Pepper’s Ghost" technique. This performance allowed Crystagella to interact directly with the audience on stage, blurring the line between artist and digital simulation.
Writing Career
[edit]Beyond music, Crystagella is also known for co-authoring the book A Heartfelt Reflection on the Tragedy from the Life of Cherry Muffin, released in 2024.[2] The book blends poetic prose, narrative fragments, and experimental illustrations to explore identity, trauma, and spiritual searching in modern life. It is seen as an extension of Crystagella's narrative beyond performance, establishing her as a poetic voice capable of expressing existentialism through literature.[2]
